A Greedy Wrath

T Sumrall
 This was taken in Mr. Myer's photography room for his q-tip project. This piece is my favorite because not only does it give a good visual description of the sins Greed and Wrath, it shows an emotional side. I felt into the image when editing it and taking it, and it provides a perfect example of a mixture of two evils. First I uploaded the image onto a black background, and cropped it. The shirt was initially blue, but I turned it red with hue/saturation, and then started to use custom brushes. The brushes all put together and turned red make the fractals bursting from greed/wrath's figure.

Hahaha, this is so evil looking! I love the red splatter in the background and how the shadow is covering his eyes, very mysterious and dark. The picture also looks very in focus which is nice. Great composition!

First of all, I really like how you arched our back and pulled in our shoulders to look less human like and more animalistic. Biting the item in your hand definitely adds an interesting touch.I really like how all of the paints in the background are hand-drawn and seem to be protruding from your spinal cord. The red was the perfect color to use. A definite thumbs up.
